Serbian winger Marko Grujic has confirmed that he has held talks over a transfer to Liverpool.

Grujic has been linked with a number of major clubs across Europe this season, with Liverpool’s domestic rivals Chelsea and Manchester United both credited with an interest in the 19-year-old.

And Liverpool look to have taken a lead in the race for the player after holding talks with him over a potential move.

‘I will do my best to show respect to the club [Red Star], the public and the supporters, but then I think I need to choose the best environment for myself in which I’ll get my chance and work with good coaches in good conditions,’ he told Serbian outlet Blic.

‘Maybe something will happen, but there’s no rush. I am certainly staying there [Red Star] until the end of the qualifiers for the Champions League. That works for Liverpool too. We had talks and I haven’t made any deal yet. I am still a Red Star player.’
